Spaulding High School
Rochester, New Hampshire
Spaulding High School's "Red Raiders" nickname was first used by the 1950 basketball team. Prior to that, Spaulding's sports teams were simply known as the "Raiders."
The cover of the 1957 yearbook featured an "Indian" caricature in full Plains-style feathered headdress.
That same year the cheerleaders' uniforms were red and white "Indian uniforms" that included a headband and a single feather. The cheerleaders can be seen posing for photos with their arms folded or making the Hollywood "Hou" hand gesture.
In the late 1970s the cheerleaders' sweaters featured a cartoon of a buck-toothed "Indian" doing a cheerleading leap.
There have been countless logos, icons, and images of generic "Indians" over the years, despite school administrators' claims of a proud "tradition."
